Theses
“The Cry of a Million Voices: Catholic Ecclesiology, the Social Imagination, and the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.” Undergraduate Honors Thesis, University of Notre Dame, 2019.
[Awarded the 2019 Wright, Flint-Hamilton, and Mason Award from the Department of Africana Studies at the University of Notre Dame in Notre Dame, IN, U.S.A. “for excellence in research on a topic exploring social, political, economic, and/or cultural aspects of the African Diaspora.”
The Review Committee commented: “Marcus Timothy Haworth’s thesis was of a quality and depth rarely seen in senior theses. The moral power driving Marcus’ qualitative arguments and his courage in questioning the Church and colonialism are truly provocative. His argument prods the reader to reconsider what they know and to dive deeply into questions he raises around the relationship of church and state broadly speaking. His writing is crisp, concise, and compelling. Moreover, Marcus’ work indicates a solid handle on the extant literature within his field of study and suggests that his next steps should include additional academic explorations of these topics.”]
